immediately lessened, the spreading greenish purple veins also gradually began to disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, they vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About five or six minutes later, Wu Heng, was lying on the ground, gasping for breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whew~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, I had this Customized Antidote, otherwise I might have killed

points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the upgrade, it was equivalent to a two and a half level up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attributes: Strength 10, Agility 13, Physique 15, Intelligence 16, Perception 10, Charm 13.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the attribute points were added to Physique, Strength, and Agility, but attributes directly reflect the physical state, having any high attribute would be beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it's not only the Intelligence that is beneficial for a Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being elated for a while, he calmed down a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Took out the potion recipe and examined it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it possible that I can continue to absorb Corpse Cores and keep increasing my attributes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this speculation was correct, then his attributes would increase unlimitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the level upgrade doesn't increase his attributes a lot, he can enhance his attributes through absorbing Corpse Cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both can compensate each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a while and finding no abnormal feelings in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got up again and started today's leveling under the command of skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole night passed, clean downstairs, three more wandering zombies appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the staircase door, and gave a direct order, \"Attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the skeletons surged out of the staircase like a long dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pounced onto the zombies outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombies were knocked down by the crowd of skeletons, before they could get up, they were crushed into a mush by countless kitchen knives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight here also attracted the attention of nearby zombies\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rushed over from the opened staircase and the back of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack!\" Wu Heng also stepped out of the corridor and shouted the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton warriors all raised their cleavers in unison, rushing toward the attacking zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was continuous loud roaring and chopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud thud thud~clatter clatter!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, the glass of the building in front shattered, and zombies fell from the windows above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher ones fell to a mush, the slightly lower ones broke their lower limbs and crawled forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombies rushed out from all directions and then attacked the skeleton camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although still within the ability of the skeletons, it was significantly more compared to the number estimated from the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton dog would sporadically leap out of the skeleton camp, knock down one or two zombies, bite their necks, and violently shake its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the zombies gathered, it promptly jumped back to the back of the skeletons, not forgetting to wag its waist towards the skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mocking and provoking connotation was extremely strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng stood at the back of the skeletons, observing the situation on the scene while releasing the Bone Manipulation Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To supplement the lost number of skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were getting less and less, and finally, only a few scattered and zombies that jumped from the building and broke their legs were still crawling towards this side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go,\" kill those paralyzed ones.\" Wu Heng ordered the skeleton dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton dog wagged its tail, directly leapt out of the skeleton group, and killed the crawling zombies one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the ground below was piled up with about forty zombie bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeletons collected all the bodies, stacked them up into a small hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng began to release the Bone Manipulation Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summon a few, rest for a while, to avoid excessive spiritual exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to experience that stir-crazy feeling again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky gradually dimmed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the remaining bodies that weren't transformed, and finally gave up the idea of transforming them overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can't drift, you have to develop carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to Black Stone Town, Wu Heng had dinner in the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he also heard some information discussed by the other tavern guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What discounts which brothel is offering, the blacksmith shop is raising prices due to a lack of ores, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most effective way for him to understand this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking others might draw attention, but listening to others brag could also provide a lot of useful information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating and drinking enough, he began to walk towards his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was quite satisfied in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a turnaround!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good things have been happening one after another in these two days, feels like he hit a lucky streak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything becomes smoother, and the future is promising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got to hang in there, improve attributes, increase the number of skeletons.\" Wu Heng emphasized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly walked towards his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as he turned into the alley where he lived, he stomped his footsteps abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly retreated outside the alley and opened the gun case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three figures standing at his doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man and a woman, plus another person wrapped in a black cloak, who couldn't be recognized as a man or woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wanted criminal coming for revenge? It's not even night yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng was alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three people in the alley also noticed the noise here, one of them said: \"Wu Heng?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, how can I help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The nomination from the headquarters has come, the steward asked to bring it to you, along with your skeleton.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, one of them pulled the hood off the figure behind him, revealing a skeleton warrior with a Soul Fire glowing in its eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight mark on the lower jawbone proved it was the wanted criminal that Wu Heng killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize, please come in.\" Wu Heng apologized, stepped forward to open the door, and invited the two in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to his skeleton, two people came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man and a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was probably in his forties, with brown hair combed back, a stern and resolute face, dressed in silver armor and a longsword hanging around his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The right chest position of the armor bore the emblem of the Professional Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other person was a young woman, with blonde hair, a sharp and exquisite facial feature, tall, wearing a brown leather armor top and tight leather pants, her legs were slim and straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave off an impression of being smart and capable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she entered the room, her eyes were continuously looking everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, have a seat.\" Wu Heng signaled the two to sit down, opened a bottle of iced tea, and poured a cup for each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he also took a seat, the man finally took out some things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed them one by one on the wooden table and said, \"My name is Autruck, the captain of the Fourth Squad stationed in Black Stone Town, this is member 'Cavina'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman nodded in acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, good afternoon to both of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged captain took the objects in his hands and put them one by one on the table, saying: \"These are the appointment letter from the association and the armor issued to you, take good care of them, the armor is a welfare reward, it's not mandatory to wear it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's also armor reward, that's really good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man continued: \"According to the distribution of Black Stone Town's Professional Association, you are now a member of the Fourth Squad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng understood, so that's why these two came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out, the squads have already been divided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, our squad only includes three people?\" Wu Heng curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professional squads are between three to five people, our squad is newly added, currently we only have three members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professional squads mainly undertake professional rescues and assist in local guard work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of people won't be as many as patrol teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the number of people is too large, it might actually cause local resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain continued: \"Also, we have to carry out a task tomorrow, we will set off early in the morning, gather at the West City Gate, and don't be late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng was startled, \"So soon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1932,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.206Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","03a11582223a2c92c576923ed3c3afb0fdbf921cd7a0f8928e97654f5465fdd0","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-15","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-13",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
